In this study we investigated magnetism and magnetostriction of B2-structured FeX (X = Al, Si, Ni, Ga, Ge, and Sn) using a first-principles method, in order to survey the possibility of developing a transition metal based magnetostriction material. The Full-potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave method was employed for solving the Kohn-Sham equation within the generalized gradient approximation for exchange-correlation interaction between electrons. FeX alloys are stabilized in ferromagnetic states except for the FeSi and FeGe alloys. Magnetostrcition coefficients of FeX (X = Al, Ni, Ga, and Sn) were calculated to be -5, +6, -84, -522ppm, respectively. It is noteworthy that the magnetostriction coefficient (-522ppm) of FeSn is larger than that (+400ppm) of Gafenol.

Core/shell structured composite metal oxides of Fe2O3/MgO were prepared by thermal decomposition of Fe(acac)3 adsorbed on the surface of MgO cores. The morphology of the composites conformed to that of the MgO used as the cores. Broad powder X-ray diffraction peaks shifted toward larger d, large BET surface area (∼350 m2/g), and the size of crystalline domains in nano range (4 nm), all corroborate to the nanocrystallinity of the Fe2O3/MgO composite which was prepared by using nanocrystalline MgO as the core. By use of microcrystalline MgO as the core, microcrystalline Fe2O3/MgO composite was prepared, and it had small BET surface area of less than 35 m2/g. AFM measurements on nanocrystalline Fe2O3/MgO showed a collection of spherical aggregates (∼80 nm dia) with a very rough surface. On the contrary, microcrystalline Fe2O3/MgO was a collection of plate-like flat crystallites with a smooth surface. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption behavior indicated that microcrystalline Fe2O3/MgO was nonporous, whereas nanocrystalline Fe2O3/MgO was mesoporous. Bimodal distribution of the pore size became unimodal as the layer of Fe2O3 was applied to nanocrystalline MgO. The macropores in a wide distribution which the nanocrystalline MgO had were absent in the nanocrystalline Fe2O3/MgO. The decomposition of CCl4 was largily enhanced by the overlayer of Fe2O3 on nanocrystalline MgO making the reaction between nanocrystalline Fe2O3/MgO and CCl4 be nearly stoichiometric. The reaction products were environmentally benign MgCl2 and CO2. Such an enhancement was not attainable with the microcrystalline samples. Even for the nanocrystalline MgO, the enhancement was not attained, if not with the Fe2O3 layer. Without the layer of Fe2O3, it was observed that the nanocrystalline domain of the MgO transformed into microcrystalline one as the decomposition of CCl4 proceeded on its surface. It appeared that the layer of Fe2O3 on the particles of nanocrystalline Fe2O3/MgO blocked the transformation of the nanocrystalline domain into microcrystalline one. Therefore, in order to attain stoichiometric reaction between CCl4 and Fe2O3/MgO core/shell structured composite metal oxide, the morphology of the core MgO has to be nanocrystalline, and also the nanocrystalline domains has to be sustained until the core was exhausted into MgCl2.

This study is about the changes in mechanical and combustion properties after the production of the combustion catalysts FeOOH and Fe₂O₃ having the same manufacturing method and application to the solid propellant. In order to make the FeOOH and Fe₂O₃ having the same manufacturing method, FeOOH was calcined at 200, 300, 400, 500℃ for 2 h, and the XRD results were confirmed. In addition, after applying the prepared catalyst to a solid propellant, it exhibited change in mechanical and combustion properties. As result of XRD, FeOOH was confirmed to change the crystal phase from Geothtie to Hematite between 200 and 300℃. The stress of the propellant hardly changed as the calcination temperature of the combustion catalyst incredsed, but the elongation increased when catalyst was calcined. the maximum value at 300℃. The burning rate confirmed that FeOOH without calcination was about 3~5% faster than other catalysts.

Magnetic nanoparticles can potentially be used in drug delivery systems and for hyperthermia therapy. The applicability of $Fe_3O_4$, $CoFe_2O_4$, $MgFe_2O_4$, and $NiFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles for the same was studied by evaluating their magnetization, thermal efficiency, and biocompatibility. $Fe_3O_4$ and $CoFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles exhibited large magnetization. $Fe_3O_4$ and $NiFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles exhibited large induction heating. $MgFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles exhibited low magnetization compared to the other nanoparticles. $NiFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles were found to be cytotoxic, whereas the other nanoparticles were not cytotoxic. This study indicates that $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles could be the most suitable ones for hyperthermia therapy.

The magnetism of the Fe monolayer on Ir(001) substrate [Fe/Ir(001)] was investigated by the first-principles energy band method. For comparison, the Fe and Ir ordered-alloyed monolayer on Ir(001) [Fe$_{0.5}$Ir$_{0.5}$/Ir(001)] was also considered. The calculated magnetic moments for Fe atoms in Fe/Ir(001) system and Fe$_{0.5}$Ir$_{0.5}$/Ir(001) system are 2.95 and 2.83 bohr magnetons, respectively. The detailed aspects of the magnetism and electronic structures for these systems are discussed with the calculated denisty of states and spin densities. The optimized atomic sites for the overlayer Fe and Ir atoms were determined by the total energy and atomic force calculations. The Fe atoms in Fe/Ir(001) move closer to the substrate Ir layer than the Fe atoms in Fe$_{0.5}$Ir$_{0.5}$/Ir(001) do to the Ir substrate.

${\beta}-Carboline$ alkaloids including harmaline have been shown to inhibit enzymatically or nonenzymatically induced-lipid peroxidation of microsomes. This study was done to explore the antioxidant ability of harmaline and harmalol on the oxidative injuries of hyaluronic acid, lipid and collagen by $Fe^{2+}$ and $H_2O_2$. Their scavenging actions on reactive oxygen species were also examined. Harmaline, harmalol, superoxide dismutase, catalase and DMSO inhibited both degradation of hyaluronic acid by $Fe^{2+}$ and $H_2O_2$ and lipid peroxidation of microsomes by $Fe^{2+}$. In these reactions, DABCO inhibited degradation of hyaluronic acid but did not affect lipid peroxidation. ${\beta}-Carbolines$ inhibited degradation of cartilage collagen by $Fe^{2+}$, $H_2O_2$ and ascorbic acid. The reduction of ferricytochrome c due to autoxidation of $Fe^{2+}$, which is inhibited by superoxide dismutase, was not affected by harmaline and harmalol. They also did not have a decomposing action on $H_2O_2$. Hydroxyl radical production in the presence of $Fe^{2+}$ and $H_2O_2$ was inhibited by harmaline, harmalol and DMSO. Harmaline and harmalol may inhibit the oxidative injuries of hyaluronic acid, lipid and cartilage collagen by $Fe^{2+}$ and $H_2O_2$ through their scavenging actions on reactive oxygen species, OH and probably iron-oxygen complexes and exert antioxidant abilities.

For the preparation of ferroxidure BaO.5.5 $Fe_2O_3$ with high coercive force, the green and calcined coprecipitates, which were obtained by neutralizing the mixed salt solution $FeCl_2-BaCl_2$ and $FeCl_3-BaCl_2$ with alkali solution $NaOH-Na_2CO_3$, were investigated about the thermal reaction, crystal growth, and the magnetic properties of the sintered specimens. The very single-domain crystallites of Ba-ferrite with high coercive force are formed from the coprecipitate of amorphous $Fe(OH)_3$ and amorphous $BaCO_3$ at lower temperature than that of subnucleus crystalline $\delta$-FeOOH and amorphous $BaCO_3$.

The injection molded Fe sintered bodies were fabricated using two kinds of nano Fe powders, $Fe-5%vol.ZrO_2$ and $Fe-10vol.%ZrO_2$ powders. The relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties depending on the $ZrO_2$ contents and sintering temperature were characterized by SEM and TEM techniques. In the wear test, the $Fe-0vol%ZrO_2$ sintered bodies showed mainly adhesive wear, but in the Fe-5%vol. $ZrO_2$ and Fe-10vol. % $ZrO_2$ composites the main wear behavior showed abrasive wear mode.

The $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ gas sensor, prepared by the precipitation of Fe(OH)$_3$ from a solution of iron(III) sulfate and tin (IV) chloride, was composed of fine particles and was superior in sensitivity to other $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$. The gas sensitivity was found to depend on the amounts of remaining sulfate ion the microstructure and a small amount of iron(II) species generated through the reduction of $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$. The sensing mechanism of $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$gas sensor was confirmed to be due to the reduction of $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ to the low resistive Fe$_3$-xO$_4$ by combustible gas and to depend on the crystral structure.

We observe the change of coercivity and exchange bias, depending on inserting material and thickness in a [Pd(0.6 nm)/$Co(0.2)]_5$/ FeMn(10) multilayer structure with perpendicular anisotropy. When 0.78 and 1.28 nm thick NiFe substitutes for Co in a $[Pd(0.6 nm)Co(0.2)]_4$/Pd(0.6)/NiFe(t)/FeMn(10) structure, we obtain the exchange bias of 360 Oe. In addition, when $Co_8Fe_2$ and $Co_9Fe_1$ are inserted for Co/FeMn interface, we obtain the exchange bias of 380 nm for a 0.68 nm thick $Co_8Fe_2$ and 580 Oe for a 0.52 nm thick $Co_9Fe_1$.
